Nov 25, 2024VR is obviously at its best when it creates an experience that is unique to the medium. By this definition, Bounce Arcade is a definite success. It has an original concept that’s well executed and lots of fun. Often in VR, novelty is a game’s only selling point. I don’t think that’s true with Bounce Arcade, and hopefully the game will continue to be supported by new tables and additional modes or incentives to keep playing.

Nov 20, 2024Taken for what it is, Bounce Arcade is a great deal of fun, but I'm not sure if it's got the staying power I was hoping it would offer as a complete package. When it works, it's by far one of the more entertaining implementations of a genre typically not seen in VR. When it doesn't work? It's unavoidably apparent, like an itchy sweater, and core mechanics this tight deserve better than that. I still recommend Bounce Arcade with the caveat that I really hope it blossoms into something better. If Gunpowder Gulch can be refined, then maybe Pirate's Plunder can too, but I can't rate a game on hypotheticals. If you're game for something novel, despite a few blemishes, then check out Bounce Arcade; just don't expect all the stages to be winners.
